MN SF303

Amends Minnesota Statutes to allow the Public Employment Relations Board and Bureau of Mediation Services to access personnel data held by employers for purposes of conducting elections, notifying employees of fair share fee assessments, and implementing labor relations law.

Classifies unfair labor practice charges and related data as protected nonpublic or confidential prior to evidentiary hearings, becoming public once admitted as evidence unless subject to protective orders.

Designates certain information as public at all times, including charge filing dates, names of parties, provisions of law allegedly violated, complaints issued, hearing transcripts, hearing officer decisions, exceptions, briefs, and board orders.

Exempts Public Employment Relations Board deliberations on unfair labor practice charges from Minnesota's Open Meeting Law (Chapter 13D) to protect confidentiality during the review process.

Appropriates $750,000 for fiscal year 2024 and $750,000 for fiscal year 2025 from the general fund to the Public Employment Relations Board.
